Welcome to the dusty shelves of my imagination. I’m A, the Artist behind Devious Sugar studios. Where the bubbly and the macabre hold hands. As an artist, teacher, and mother, my life is a constant dance between the everyday and the extraordinary. My work is ever evolving.

By day, Andy (he) is an antitrust economist who focuses on sports economics, especially related to college football and basketball. He's worked on several major lawsuits around whether and how college athletes get paid, and his first crowdfunded game, Envelopes of Cash, took full advantage of his knowledge of the underground economy of bag men and hundred-dollar handshakes.  He's also really into Euro-style board games, which led him to make Envelopes of Cash, a Euro that feels truly set in 21st-century America.  With his second effort, Skybirds, he returns to his childhood love of all thing related to WWI aviation and to a very different genre: trick taking.

Meowdy! I'm PaletteGhost, a digital illustrator who loves to draw with aesthetic, bold colors.  I'm currently hosting my third crowdfunding campaign, after hosting two very successful enamel pin campaigns. My dream is to bring my illustrations into accessories and apparel that can be used and seen in everyday life.  Outside of this campaign, I love to attend various artists alleys at anime conventions here in the US. I've been to Anime Expo, Animazement, Nan Desu Kan, Planet Comic Con KC, Anime Frontier, and other various smaller sized conventions. I will also soon be visiting Anime Boston and AMKE for the first time!

Art for those who value the mysteries of the natural world... Where conservation, science and spirituality collide- all to bring awareness to Earth's sacred beauty and need for protection. I am a born and raised Floridian. Growing upon the edge of the swamp shaped my passion for nature, ecosystems and animals. Incorporating genuine ground gemstone paints into most of my work, a love for the watercolor medium comes through; showcasing the granulating textures and organic, unpredictable spirit of the paint which works perfectly for nature art. Since 2020, I have illustrated 13 children’s books, 2 of which I wrote as well. In 2025 I started to explore the world of divination with the release of the Floridian Mythos Oracle deck. I loves this avenue of art because I have a passionate for connecting to nature on a deeper level. I have ran 4 successful Kickstarter campaigns and with the help of Backerkit I funded my first group collab project "Horseshoe Crabs Through Time". It was a warm welcome by the amazing community here and I will be running more accessory projects where I can collaborate with the other talented artists of Backerkit!

My goal was to make a game company that made irreverent comedy games that would exist where my favourite punk bands existed, kind of consistently at the top of the underground scene. So I applied DIY punk rock work ethic to games and it's led to over 20 published games as lead designer! I've run just over 10 crowdfunding campaigns, I'm excited to try one on a new site and Backerkit has built a great reputation over the yeras. Beyond that, I travel to a lot of conventions and meeting meeting different people who each have their story to tell. I also enjoy bragging about my biceps on social media. They are VERY BIG.
